Why do people keep telling me that I'm so tanned when it's really my skin color?

[LexiXide]

im African American and adults at my school are always like, "oh you're so tan!" but thats my natural skin tone. Like wtf is it supposed to mean? Lmao

Well evidently they don't realize that you're African American so they're complimenting you on your skin color. Take it as a compliment

[LexiXide]

okay thank you!

People don;t really get tanned like they used to. I saw a guy at the gym with a really dark tan and it was a little startling. Most people just think that it looks good on you.

No problem

Maybe you have golden skin? I would have to see a picture to see what they mean.

[FilmGuy93]

It means you have light brown skin. Stop overthinking shit lmao

I'm thinking it's just an indication that the speaker is either stupid or racist. Possibly both.

It means you can do white girl stuff now, like wear yoga pants and ask to speak to the manager.

It’s just ignorant people being dumb! They don’t mean anything by it.

A lot of African Americans these days look Mathew Perry white. Take Meghan Markle or Barrack Obama I just assume they white.
